Bidirectional Position Tolerance

[JohnDHage]

Hello,

I am working in Creo 9 and wondering if there is an option for bidirectional geometric tolerancing. I have included a snip of an example I am working on with polar bidirectional position tolerancing. I've tried calling the geo tol in an added dimension, but that doesn't seem to be allowed. If there is not a formal option, workaround recommendations would be useful.

Thanks,

Hi there,

Are you asking if there is a standard method for applying bidirectional geometric tolerancing in Creo 9, or are you looking for a workaround to achieve this? Creo does have certain limitations when adding GTOL to dimensions in some cases, but depending on your requirement, there might be alternative approaches to accomplish what you need. 
I am not sure this is the formal method of placing this GTOL(refer the image). But this type can help you.

Thank you.

Hi,

If there is a formal way that would be phenomenal, but I' guessing not. If there is a reasonable workaround I'd take that. In your screen shot, it looks like you managed to get the gtol on dimension arrows. How did you do that?

Thanks,

Hi,

For your clarification that you noted the GTOL placement, to achieve this follow this steps,

Step 1: In dimension text panel, replace the "D" from "@D" with "O  ",( Like "@O " ( O space) IT will blank the dim text)

Step 2: Place the GTOL at the extension line of the dimension,
Step 3: Align the GTOL Position as required.
